[quote=Anonymous]Yes, we’ve shown it, but gimmicky and wasteful top-down testing remains because our society isn’t willing to invest in more constructive inputs to raise standards and increase outputs. I would opt out of PARRC for my own children if the test was better and wasn’t a corporate confection. There’s a middle ground on testing that the District isn’t bothering to seek. After punitive school closures that really messed up my 7 year old, I’m no longer willing to play along with a miserable test. Yet I’m about the only parent in my school who’s opting out (according to admins). As long as almost all the parents in the system tolerate the PARCC momentum for change cannot build.[/quote]
